PREFACE. 



Brevity being an essential quality in a book designed for 
the pocket of the traveller, I have endeavoured to embody 
within the compass of a small volume, as many facts, and 
as much useful information, as a due regard to the leading 
object of the present work would admit. I have therefore 
omitted all such details and extraneous matters as would 
only serve to augment the size of the volume, without produc- 
ing a corres finding increase of utility. The work will 
accordingly be found to consist of little else than very con- 
cise statements of such facts in relation to th-j several states, 
their population,number of counties, area, forms of govern- 
ment, cities, towns, roads, canals, distances, &c. as would 
bfc nost likely to prove useful to, or deserve the notice of 
the traveller. 

'• inder the head of each city, or large town, is given an 
actouat, arranged in tabular form, of all the leading routes 
fro n each, distinguishing between those by Steam-boats, 
St ^.;s or Canal-boats, with the distances from place to 
pii.ce, carefully noted. 

A brief account of the principal objects of curio?;ity, in 
or near the larger towns, will also be found under the head 
of each. 

With regard to the canals and rail-roads of the United 
States, the reader will perceive, that 1 have entered rather 
more into details that in the other parts of the work. 

Regarding the subject as one of importance, I have 
drawn up Irom the most authentic sources, accounts of 
those works which will be found under the heads of the 
respective states. Those accounts will elucidate the extent, 
points of commencement and termination, and such other 
facts, as are considered important in reference to the 
general system of internal improvements in our country. 



(iv ) 

The accompanying map, it will be perceived, exhibits all 
the leading towns, roads, canals, Slc. with the distances 
from one place to another, distinctly indicated by figures. 
The numbers contained in each of the rhombs, formed by 
the intersecting lines of latitude and longitude, refer to cor- 
responding numbers in the descriptive volume. 

By consulting either the book or map, the place sought 
for in the other can be found with great facility. 

In addition to the information contained in the body of 
the map, there are appended to the same sheet, the follow- 
ing supplementary maps, plans, &.c. — 1. Environs of Boston. 
2. Of Providence. 3. Of New York. 4. Of Philadelphia. 
5. Of Baltimore and Washington, with a plan of the City 
of Washington. 6. Of Richmond, Va. 7. Of Charleston.

6 ALABAMA. 

Goternment. — The Governor is elected for two years ; 
salary $2,000. Secretary of State, Treasurer and Comp- 
troller of Public Accounts; — salary of each $1,000. 

Legislature. — The legislative power is vested in two 
branches, a Senate and House of Representatives, which 
together are styled the General Assembly of the State of 
Alabama. 

The representatives are elected annually, and are appor- 
tioned among the different counties in proportion to the 
white population ; the whole number cannot exceed 100, 
nor fall short of 60. The senators are elected for three 
years, and one-thirdof them are chosen every year. Their 
number cannot be more than one-third, nor less than one- 
fourth the number of the representatives. 

Judiciary. — The judicial power is vested in a supreme 
court, in circuit courts, and such inferior courts as the 
General Assembly may, from time to time, direct or estab- 
lish. The Judges, are elected by joint votes of both houses 
of the General Assembly, every six years. 

The supreme court consists of seven Judges ; and the 
state is divided into seven Circuits, in each of which a 
judge of the Supreme Court presides as a circuit judge.

of oak, ash, hickory, elm, poplar, &c. The central and 
southern portions of the state, are nearly destitute of moun- 
tains, which wholly disappear in the south. The products 
of the forests here, are similar to those in the north, but 
interspersed with pine, which increases towards the south, 
forming, with the long leaved-pine, cypress, gum, swamp, 
oak, holly, &c. the immense forest which still exists there.

Ballsville, Va. (l96.) 

Baltimore, Md. (156.) Is the chief city in Maryland, 
and the third in point of population in the United States. 
It occupies a favourable position, and appears to much ad- 
vantage on approaching it from the west. The country 
immediately in the rear swells into hills, sufficiently eleva- 
ted to afford an extensive view of the city and its environs, 
and to render the entire landscape particularly attractive. 
Population in 1830, 80,625. The objects most worthy of 
attention, are Washington Monument, at the intersection of 
Charles and Monument Streets ; it is surmounted by a colo-

Boston, Mass. (85.) Is tlie chief city of Massachusetts, 
and the fourth in magnitude in the United States. It is sit- 
uated on a peninsula, which extends in a north-east direc- 
tion from the main land, with which it is connected by seve- 
ral bridges, in addition to the " neck" so called. Its outline 
is about five miles in extent. There are several thriving 
villages in the neighbourhood of Boston, which may be 
considered as parts of the city, though under different 
municipal regulations. 

The principal of these villages are Charlestown, Lechmere 
point, the Neck, and South Boston. The objects of interest, 
in and about Boston, are — ^Tremont house, in Common st., 
an immense hotel, containing 202 apartments. State house, 
opposite the common, (western part of the city.) Old State 
house. Court st. Faneuel hall, in Chatham street. Theatre, 
Federal street. Tremont Theatre. Atheneum. Statue of 
Washington in the state-house. Navy Yard, and Breed's 
hill, rendered memorable by the battle between the British 
and American forces, on the 17th of June, 1775, commonly 
called the battle of Bunlter's Hill. 

Besides the buildings devoted to public uses, there is in 
Boston, an unusual proportion of splendid private dwellings, 
churches, and scientific and literary institutions, forming 
altogether, one of the most attractive places in the Union.

with the exception of a small portion west of the Appala- 
chicola, is remarkable for its level and unbroken surface. 
No elevation deserving the name of mountain, nor any hill 
exceeding- 300 feet in height, is to be found. In the vici- 
nity of Toloso, a limestone ridge occurs, merely sutficient 
to give motion to the waters. Natural bridges, pommon to 
limestone regions, abound in this section of the territory. 
Proceeding southward, the ridge just mentioned becomes 
more depressed, until it reaches the source ot the Oclawaha, 
where it disappears entirely, though similar geological 
features may be traced several miles further south. All 
below the 28° of N. Lat. consists of flat lands, subject to 
occasional, and a large portion of it, to constant submersion. 

Rivers. — St. Johns, Escambia, Yellow Water, Chocta- 
whatchie, Appalachicola, Oclackonnee, Suwanee, St. Ma- 
rys, «fcc. 

Bays. — Perdido, Pensacola, Choctawhatchie, St. An- 
drews, Appalachee, St. Josephs, Charlotte, Gallivans, and 
Chatham on the Gulf. 

No bays of any importance exist on the Atlantic side of 
the Territory ; Mosquito Lagoon, Indian river, &c., re- 
semble bays, but like the St. Johns, they are merely ex- 
panded rivers, and cannot with propriety be called bays. 

Productions. — Cotton, rice, sugar, tobacco, indigo, In- 
dian corn, &,c., together with a great variety of garden 
vegetables. 

Towns. — Tallahassee, the capital; Pensacola, St. Augus-

46 INDIANA. 

level, having no mountains, nor indeed any hills of great 
elevation. In the northern part of the state, a partial change 
in the surface is perceptible ; the country is somewhat bro- 
ken and undulating, but its level character is maintained 
throughout the whole. The " American Bottom" so called, 
celebrated for its fertility, extends along the left bank of 
the Mississippi, from the mouth of the Missouri to Kaskas- 
kia, nearly ninety miles. Prairies and barrens abound to a 
great extent in this state ; probably one half of its surface 
consists of these natural meadows.

Physical Structure. — The country along the Ohio, from 
the Wabash to the Miami, and 20 or 25 miles back, pre- 
sents a broken and hilly appearance ; it is not, however, 
hilly in the strict sense of the term. The ridges, commonly 
so called, are mere buttresses which support the elevated 
plateaus in the rear. These gorges have evidently been 
occasioned by the abrasions of the streams which have 
thus formed those dark ravines which abound in this part 
of the state. In the central portions, the land is less broken, 
and inthenorthnomountainsor hillsofany magnitude exist.

for holding circuit courts. There is a judge for each cir- 
cuit, who has jurisdiction of law cases over $50, and of chan- 
cery cases over £5, and holds three terms a year in each 
county of his circuit. The salary of the judges of the cir- 
cuit courts is $1000 per annum. County courts are also 
held by three or more justices of the peace. Their juris- 
diction is over inferior suits. They hear appeals from the 
decisions of single justices. 

Physical Structure. — The south-eastern portion of this 
state borders upon the Allegheny rangeof mountains, some 
of the spurs and detached ridges of which descend for a 
considerable distance into it. That part of the state is con- 
sequently of a mountainous character, with lofty eminences 
and deep ravines and valleys between them, affording land- 
scape views of uncommon boldness and beauty. Along the 
Ohio river, and extending from 10 to 20 miles in different 
places from it, are the " Ohio Hills," parallel with that 
beautiful stream. These hills are often high, generally 
gracefully rounded and conical, with narrow vales and 
bottoms around their bases. They give to that portion of

Physical Structure. — There are three very distinct por- 
tions in this state, as it regards soil and surface. 1. The 
north-eastern part, or the country lying east of the Missis- 
sippi and north of Ponnhartrain, Maurepas, and Ibberville 
outlet, embracing the parishes of east and west Feliciana, 
east Baton Rouge, Washington, St. Helena, and St. Tam- 
many, is hilly, of a sandy soil, covered with pine, possess- 
ing fine springs and a salubrious climate. The north- 
western portion of the state is also generally elevated, some 
of it very much so. 2. The south-western part, in the Op- 
elousas country is covered with extensive prairies, of great 
fertility and generally level, or gently undulating. 3. The 
whole delta, or country lying between the Atchafalaya 
(Chaffalio) outlet on the west, and the Ibberville outlet with 
its continuation in lakes Maurepas, Ponchartrain and 
Borgne, on the east, is a dead level, and excepting along 
the niargins the numerous rivers and streams of a variable 
width of from a quarter of a mile to a mile and more, is 
chiefly continuous swamps, covered with cypress, swamp 
oak, gum, &c. This is the character of much of the coun- 
try bordering the lower parts of the Red River and the 
Ouachita, the Courtabuleau, and other streams. 

The whole southern line is a low marshy country, 
scarcely rising above the level of the ocean, and often over- 



56 



LOUISVILLE. 



flown by the tides. Rising in the most gradual manner, 
the north-western part even reaches the aspect of a moun- 
tainous character. The coast is lined with low and sandy 
islands, separated from the main land by shallow bayous, 
or stagnant inlets, and covered with stinted live-oaks. 

Rivers. — Mississippi, Red, Ouchita, Atchafalaya, Cour- 
tableau, Teche, La Fourche, Amite, &.c. 

Productions. — Sugar and Rice are the principal, cotton, 
Indian corn, fruits of various sorts. 

Towns. — New Orleans, Madisonville, St. Helena, Baton 
Rouge, St. Francisville, Franklin, St. Martinsville, Opelou- 
sas, Alexandria, Natchitoches, &-c. 

Internal Improvements. — La Fourche Canal, extends 
from New Orleans to Berwicks Bay, entire length, inclu- 
ding the natural navigation, 85 miles. L. Veret Canal, 
extends from a point on the La Fourche, to Lake Veret, 
about 8 miles in lengtli. New Orleans and Ponchartrain 
Canal, six miles in length, commencets at the S. W. part of 
the city, and intersects Lake Ponchartrain, west of fort St. 
John. The New Orleans and Ponchartrain Rail Road, 
5 miles long. Several unimportant canals exist in the 
neighbourhood of New Orleans and in the parishes border- 
ing on the Mississippi ; these have been constructed by in- 
dvi duals for private use. 

Louisville, K. (168,) situated on the Ohio at the head of 
the tails ; is a place of considerable trade ; population at 
present, 17,000. The public buildings are a court house, 
market houses, eight or ten churches, high school, marine 
hospital, and several factories of iron, cotton, &c.

Maine, state of, (18,) is divided into ten counties, and 
had, in 1830, a population of 399,462. Area, 38,250 square 
miles; capital, Augusta; metropolis, Portland; lat. 43° 
39' N. long. 6° 39' E. General elections, second Monday 
in September ; legislature meet first Wednesday in Jan- 
uary ; constitution formed, 1819. 

Government. — The Governor is elected annually by the 
people, salary, $1,500 ; seven counsellors also elected an- 



MAINE. 59 

nually. Tlie legislative power is vested in a " General 
Assembly," consisting of a senate and house of representa- 
tives, members of both elected annually by the people. 

Judiciary, — Supreme court consists of a chief justice, 
who receives a salary of $1,800, and two associate judges, 
salary $1 ,500 each. Court of common pleas, a chief justice 
and two associate justices, each receives $1,200 per an- 
num. 

Physical Structure. — The north-western border of this 
state consists of a series of steps or escarpments which fol- 
low each other in such rapid succession, as in some places 
to attain an elevation of nearly 2000 feet in the space of 
a few miles. This elevation continues with slight inter- 
ruptions along the entire line from the sources of the Con- 
necticut to its termination in the north-east angle of the 
state. From these data it will be perceived that the coun- 
try, forms an inclined plane, having the Atlantic coast for 
its limit towards the south-east. This plane, however, is 
much broken by high hills and insulated mountain peaks ; 
examples are presented by Bald Ridge mountain, a spur 
from the main ridge ; Mt. Bigelow, Saddleback, Katawdin, 
and others ; some of these peaks are of great height, espe- 
cially the one last mentioned. The state may be divided 
into three grand sections; the Atlantic section is compara- 
tively level, being much intersected by lakes and other in- 
dications of a flat surface ; the second or middle section is 
hilly, and the third, or north-western part, is decidedly 
mountainous. 

Rivers. — Andriscoggin, Kennebeck, Penobscot, St. 
Croix, St. Johns, Madawaska, Walloostook, &,c. 

Productions. — Lumber, fish, pot and pearl ashes, small 
grain, provisions, &.c. 

Towns. — Portland, the metropolis ; Augusta, the capital ; 
York, Paris, Wiscasset, Bath, Hallowell, Castine, Belfast, 
Bangor, Machias, Eastport, &c. &c. 

Internal Improvements. — Cumberland and Oxford Canaly 
extends from Portland to Sebago Pond, 20| miles, whence, 
by a lock in Songo river, the navigation is extended into 
and through Brandy and Long Ponds, a further distance of 
30 miles.

Mississippi. The members of the senate are elected for 
three years, and the representatives annually. The num. 
ber of the representatives cannot be less than 37, nor more 
than 100, as soon as the free populalion%shall amount to 
80,000. The senate cannot consist of less than one- fourth 
nor more than one-third, as many as there are representa- 
tives. The general election for the state takes place on the 
first Monday and Tuesday of August. The General As- 
sembly meets (at Jackson) annually on the first Monday in 
November. 

Judiciary. — The Court of Chancery. Chancellor's sal- 
ary $2,000. 

The supreme court consists of a chief justice and five 
associate judges — the salary of each $2,000. The state is 
divided into six districts, in which the judges of the su- 
preme court severally hold circuit courts. These courts 
have original jurisdiction incases where the sum in dispute 
exceeds $50 ; and appellate jurisdiction from the courts of 
justices of the peace, where the sum exceeds $20. They 
have also criminal jurisdiction. The county of Adams lias 
a separate criminal court, whose jurisdiction however, does 
not supersede that of the circuit court. 

Every organized county has a probate court, and a coun- 
ty court held by three judges, of which the probate judge is 
the presiding justice. This court takes cognizance of 
offences committed by slaves, &c. The judges hold their 
offices during good behaviour, but not beyond the age of 65 
years. 

Imprisonment for debt is not allowed in this state, except 
in cases of a debtor who fraudulently withholds his proper- 
ty from his creditors. 

Physical Structure. — Along the Mississippi river, at va- 
rious distances, there is a line of bluffs, of from 50 to 150 
feet in height. The portions which are contiguous to the 
river, are called by different names, such as Walnut Hills, 
Grand-Gulf-bluffs, Natchez Bluffs, White Cliffs, and Lof- 
tus' Heights, &.c. 

The country beyond these bluffs spreads out into a high, 
beautiful and fertile table-land, gently undulating and pro- 
ductive. 



MISSISSIPPI. MISSOURI. 67 

Beyond the fertile belt of land, there stretches from 
south to north, and reaches eastward to the Alabama line, 
an extensive district of country, of various soils, but pos- 
sessinjr much that is alluvial and fertile. 

The southern, middle and northern parts of this state, 
may be s;ud to be beautifully undulating, with numerous 
ravines and streams. 

In its natural state, in which almost the entire state slill 
is, it was covered with a vast forest of oak, hickory, niag- 
nolia, sweet gum, ash, ma|)le, yellow poplar ; cypress in the 
swampy alluvial Mi^^sissippi bottoms, pine, holly, &c. &c., 
with a great variety of underwood, grape-vines, paw-paw, 
spice wood, &c. 

Rivers. — Mississippi, Yazoo, Tombeckbec, Yellowbusha, 
Buffalo, Big Black, Bayou Pierre, Homochitte, Amite, 
Pearl, Pascagoula, &-c. 

Productions. — Cotton, tobacco, corn, sugar, the orange, 
fig, and fruits are abundant. 

Towns. — Jackson, the capital, Natchez, Monticello, Port 
Gibson, Shieldsboro, Greenville, Winchester, Washington, 
Vicksburg, Warrenton, &.c.

had, in 1830, a population of 140,455, including 25,091 
slaves. Area, 65,500 square miles ; capital, Jefferson ; 
metropolis, St. Louis ; lat. 3ji° .37' N., long. I'P 14' E.; 
General election, first Monday in August, biennially ; legis-

ral assembly, consisting of a senate and a house of repre- 
sentatives. The members of the former body are elected 



68 



MISSOURI. 



for four years ; the members of the latter, for two years. 
Every county is entitled to one representative ; but the 
whole number can never exceed 100 members. The sena- 
tors are chosen by districts. The constitutional number 
is not less than 14 nor more than 33. 

The elections for senators and representatives are held 
biennially, and for governor, and lieutenant governor, once 
in four years, on the first Monday in August, 

The legislature meets every second year (at the city of

the consent of the senate; and they hold their ofKces during 
good behaviour, but not beyond the age of 65 years. 

The supreme court consists of a presiding judge and 
two associate judges; the salary of each $1,100 per an- 
num. 

There are five circuit courts and as many judges. The 
salary of each Is $1,000 per annum. 

Physical Structure. — The surface of this state is greatly 
diversified. The alluvial bottoms are level. In the middle 
part rises a hilly region, extending from St. Genevieve 
south-westward into Arkansas, and is the commencement 
of the Ozark Mountains of that territory. The northern 
part is undulating, but no where approaching what may, 
with propriety, be called mountainous. Extensive prairies 
stretch out on the western and northern parts of this 
state. Even the St. Genevieve hills are marked with 
this character, and have the ap|)earance, in places, of 
extensive uncultivated fields. The mine region, which 
lies about 70 miles south-west of St. Louis, is hilly, and 
a considerable portion of the state lying south of the Mis- 
souri and Osage rivers, is of the same character, and is 
in many places, marked with flint knobs of considerable 
elevation. The country between the Mississippi and Mis- 
souri rivers is delightfully undulating and variagated. The

New York city, (134.) The commercial emporium of 
the United States, and metropolis of the state of New York, 
is situated at the point of junction of the Hudson and East 
rivers ; in N. lat. 40° 42' and E. long. 0° 55' 30" from 
Washington. The city proper, or that portion where the 
population is mostly concentrated, occupies the southern 
quarter of Manhattan island, the whole of which, including 
Harlaem, Yorkville, and some other villages, is under the 
jurisdiction of the city corporation, and is identical with 
the county of New York. The city, together with the 
suburbs just mentioned, contained in 1830, upwards of 
30,000 buildings, and 213,470 inhabitants. The population 
at this time (1837) may be estimated at 288,000. The dense- 
ly settled part of the island, or what is called " the city," 
has an outline of 50,000 feet or ten miles, nearly. Its prin- 
cipal streets are Broadway, in which most of the retail 
bisiness is transacted, Greenwich street, Pearl street, 
Broad, Wall and Chatham sts., the Bowery, Maiden-Lane, 
&c. &c. 

The public buildings, and objects of curiosity, are the 
city hall, in the park, exchange buildings* in Wall street,

Niagara, U. C. (54.) 

Niagara Falls, N. Y. (54.) This stupendous and une- 
qualled work of nature, is formed by a ridge of lime-stone 
rocks, which is here broken and torn asunder by the waters 
from the great lakes above. This ridge, as it is improperly 
called, is a mere shelf, or a succession of steps, from the 
basin of lake Ontario, up to that of Erie, the difference of 
level being about 334 feet. The elevation of the great cat- 
aract from its brow at the crescent, to the surface of the 
strait is 158 feet, hence it will be seen that the rapids above 
the falls have a greater actual descent than the falls them- 
selves. The rapids commence near the Burning Spring, 
about a mile above the precipice. 

The inclination of the plane over which the waters pass, 
increases as it approaches the chute, and thus augments 
the velocity of the current and the turbulence of its trou- 
bled waters. No spectacle can be more sublime, than is 
presented by the great falls, when viewed in connection 
with the rapids above. The high grounds, in the rear of 
Forsyth's hotel, afford such a view. 

In addition to the falls, there are several interesting ob- 
jects in their vicinity, which deserve attention ; among 
them may be mentioned the Burning Spring, near the outlet

90 OHIO. 

All the judges of the supreme court and the courts of 
common pleas are elected by the house of representatives 
for the term of 7 years. The supreme court sits once a 
year in each county, and the court of common pleas three 
times a year. The only capital crime in Ohio is murder 
in the first degree. There is no imsrisonment for debt, 
except in cases of fraudulent withholding of property. 

Physical Structure. — The eastern part of the state which 
borders on Pennsylvania is hilly, but gradually becomes 
more level as you advance westward. Along the whole 
course of the Ohio river, there is, in this state, a strip of 
land, of from 10 to 15 miles, and in some places more, in 
width, which is broken and hilly. These hills, especially 
in the immediate vicinity of the river, are very high and 
often of quite a mountainous aspect. 

The western half of the state is in general remarkably 
level. On the immediate borders of Indiana, it is so much 
so, as to assume a very monotonous appearance. The cen- 
tral parts of the state, fi:om the neighbourhood of the Ohio 
river up to lake Erie, may be compared, as it regards level 
character, not with entire accuracy, to the country around 
Philadelphia, or rather that portion of Pennsylvania which 
is seen by the traveller as he passes from that city to Lan- 
caster, by the main turnpike road. 

Rivers. — Ohio, Mahoning, Little Beaver, Muskingum, 
Hocking, Scioto, Little Miami, Great Miami, Maumee,

rietta, New Lisbon, Canton, Wooster, Massillon, New Phil- 
adelphia, Coshocton, Newark, Zanesville, Lancaster, Chilli- 
cothe, Circleville, Dayton, Springfield, St. Clairsville, Hills- 
boro, Ravenna, Athens, and many others. 

Internal Improvements. — Ohio and Erie Canal, extends 
from Portsmouth on the Ohio River, to Cleveland on Lake 
Erie, length 307 miles. Miami Canal, from Cincinnati to 
Dayton, 68 miles, the extension of this canal to the Maumee 
is in progress, Columbus Canal^ from the Ohio and Erie

Pennsylvania, state of, (132,) is divided into 52 counties. 
Population, 1,347,672, including 386 slaves. Area, 47,500 
square miles. Capital, Harrisburg; metropolis, Philadel- 
phia, in N. Lat. 39=^ 57' E. Long. F 47'. General election, 
second Tuesday in October ; legislature meet first Tuesday 
in December. Constitution formed, 1790. 

Government. — Governor, — term of office three years, sal- 
ary $4,000 ; secretary of state ; treasurer ; auditor-general ; 
surveyor-general ; and attorney-general. 

Legislature. — Senate consists of thirty-three members, 
elected for four years. House of Representatives, one hun- 
dred members, elected annually. 

Judiciary. — There is a supreme court, consisting of a 
chief justice and four associate judges. This court holds 
its courts in five places in the state, which is divided into 
five districts for that purpose. The state is also divided into 
16 districts, for the sessions of the courts of connnon 
pleas. Each of these circuits has a presiding judge, and 
two associates from each county. The judges of the 
supreme court receives a salary of $2,000 per annum ; the 
judges of the common pleas, $1,600 ; and the associates,

Physical Structure. — The Allegheny mountains pass 
obliquely across the central part of the state, ranging, 
generally, from north-east to south-west. The several 
ridges which constitute the system here are known by lo- 
local name, differing in many cases, from those generally 
adopted by writers on geography. In passing along the 
great road from Philadelphia to Pittsburg, the traveller 
crosses, successively the follownng ridges : Mine Hill ; South 
Mountain; Blue Mountain ; Cove ; Sideling Hill; Tussey's 



PENNSYLVANIA. 93 

Mountain ; Dunning's Mountain ; Will's Mountain ; Alle- 
gheny Mountain ; Laurel Hill, and Chesnut ridge. The 
Allegheny Mountain is by far the most elevated among the 
group ; it is here that the waters which run eastward and 
those flowing into the Ohio, have their sources. The 
ridges on either side of the great Allegheny, are little else 
than mere steps from the plains below, up to the main 
ridge; the valleys, as well as the ridges, becoming mare 
and more elevated, as they approach the dividing ridge. 
Some of the peaks attain an elevation of 3,000 feet ; the 
mean altitude of the Allegheny system, is about 2,500 feet 
above tide water. 

Islands. — With the exception of a few small islands in 
the Delaware and Susquehanna, there is none within the 
borders of the state. Those in the Susquehanna, are, Dun- 
can's island, at the mouth of the Juniata; Hill island, near 
Middletown ; Fishing island, a few miles below, and some 
others. And in the Delaware, Tinicum, Hog, League, 
Pettys, Biles, &c. Lakes. — Erie, which borders the N". 
W. part of the state, and Conneaut, are the only lakes in the 
state, which is remarkably destitute of such aggregations 
of waters, as deserve the name of lakes. 

Rivers. — Delaware, Schuylkill, Lehigh, Susquehanna, 
Swatara, Juniata, West branch, Ohio, Beaver, Allegheny, 
Conemaugh, Clarion, French creek, Monongahela, Yough- 
iogeny, &c.

siderable magnitude occur, at frequent intervals ; the sub- 
stratum being composed almost entirely of rocks which fre- 
quently exhibit themselves, not only on the hills, but in the 
valleys also. These give to this part of the state a rugged 
and exceedingly broken surface. The other three quarters 
may be regarded as level, with slight interruptions occa- 
sioned by low hills ; these, however, diminish in number 
and importance as the sea-board is approached, and within 
a few miles of which they terminate altogether.

chusetts.) Stonington Rail Road (now in progress,) ex- 
tends from Stonington in Connecticut, to Providence, 46 
miles in length. A company has been incorporated to con- 
struct a Rail Road from Providence to Norwich, in Con 
necticut.

South Carolina, state of, (253,) is divided into 29 dis- 
tricts. Population in 1830, 581,458, including 315,665 
slaves; area, 31,750 square miles; capital, Columbia; 
metropolis, Charleston ; lat. 32° 45' N. long. 2° 53' W. 
General election, second Monday in October, biennially. 
Legislature meet, fourth Monday in November ; constitu- 
tion formed 1790, since amended. 

Government. — Governor — term of office two years, 
salary, $3,500, chosen by the general assembly — lieuten- 
ant governor, &,c. 

Legislature. — The legislative power is vested in a 
senate, having 45 members, elected for four years, one half 
being chosen biennially ; and a house of representatives,

SOUTH CAROLINA. 115 

and common pleas, six judges, with a salary to each of 
$3,500 per annum. 

Physical Structure. — The entire sea coast andfor several 
miles inland, the surface is remarkably level. The soil 
consists of swamps and marshes, interspersed with ridges 
sufficiently elevated merely to escape submersion, some of 
which are quite inaccessible, and are thus rendered useless. 
After passing the alluvial border, which is marked by the 
great road leading from Fayetteville to Augusta, the coun- 
try assumes a more undulating appearance ; the hills in- 
crease in number and magnitude, until they become so 
numerous as to form continuous ridges ; these continue to 
enlarge in proceeding westward, and ultimately form the 
spurs and flanks of the great blue ridge, which here forms 
a part of the boundary of the state. 

Rivers. — Pedee, < Waccamaw, Little Pedee, Lynches 
Creek, Santee, Wateree, Catawba, Congaree, Broad, Tyger, 
Ennoree, Saluda, Cooper, Ashley, Edisto, Combahee, and

wees, SuUivans, Holly, Johns, Wadmelaw, Edisto, Rey- 
nolds, Hunting, St. Helena, Ladies, Port Royal, Hilton

Productions. — Cotton, rice, tobacco, fruits, &-c. &c. 

Towns. — Charleston, Columbia, Georgetown, Cheraw, 
Camden, Yorkville, Spartanburg, Pendleton, Abbeville, 
Edgefield, Hamburg, Beaufort, &c. &c. 

Internal Improvements. — South Carolina Rail Road, 
commences at Charleston, and terminates in the town of 
Hamburg, opposite Augusta, entire length, 135-75 miles. 
It is proposed to construct a branch to Orangeburg, and 
thence to Columbia, &c. and another to Barnwell C H. 
Santee Canal connects the harbour of Charleston with the 
Santee, length 22 miles. Winyaw Canal, extends from Win- 
yaw Bay to Kinlock Creek, a branch of Santee river, length 
7-40 miles. The navigation of the Catawba has been im- 
^proved by the construction of several small canals. Saluda 
Canal, extends from the head of Saluda shoals to Granby 
Ferry on the Congaree, 6-20 miles in length. Drehfs Canal,

Tennessee, state of, (226,) is divided into 63 counties. 
Population in 1830, 681,903, including 141,603 slaves. 
Area, 40,200 square miles. Capital and Metropolis, Nash- 
viUe; Lat. 36^ 07' N. Long. 9° 44' W. General election, 
first Thursday and Friday in August, biennially. Legis- 
lature meet, third Monday in September, every second 
year; date of constitution, 1796. 

Government. — Governor, term of office, two years, salary 
$2,000 per annum ; legislature is composed of a senate 
and house of representatives, styled the General Assembly, 
the members of both are elected biennially, and receive 
each $4 a day during the session of the legislature. 

Judiciary. — The supreme court of errors and appeals 
consists of three judges, salary of each $1,800 per annum, 



118 TENNESSEE. 

two chancellors, $1,500 each. There are eleven circuits, 
and a like number of judges, salary of each $1,300 per 
annum. 

Physical Structure. — The most elevated portion of this 
state is a ridge of mountains which divides it from the state 
of North Carolina, to which several local names have been 
applied. The most noted of these are Unika, Iron, Smoky 
Bald, and Stone mountains. These several mountains 
form a single ridge of th.e Alleghenies, which, next to the 
blue ridge on the east, is the most elevated in the series. 
In descending the ridge just mentioned, westward, several 
inferior mountains occur at frequent intervals, from which 
spurs issue in all directions, and thus modify and establish 
the hydrography of this portion of the state. 

The same, or nearly a similar configuration, marks the 
country in the west of the Tennessee river, whose bed, 
though in a deep valley, is greatly elevated above the level 
of tide water. 

A few miles west from and nearly parallel with the Ten- 
nessee the Cumberland mountain attains its greatest height, 
and presents a remarkable feature in the geology of this 
part of the state. The Cumberland mountain, so called, 
assumes the appearance, and is in fact an extensive pla- 
teau, elevated, probably, from 1,200 to 1,500 feet above the 
ocean. The mean width of this table-land is not less than 
40 miles; the western shelf of the Cumberland plateau, 
forms, with the exception of some hills, the list of the nu- 
merous elevations which distinguish the whole of the eas- 
tern part of the state, which is emphatically a " mountain 
region." 

Immediately west of the Cumberland but few hills are 
seen, and the country generally begins to assume a level 
aspect; further west, the surface continues to decline until 
it is again broken by the Tennessee, which here intersects 
the state from south to north ; all beyond is comparatively 
level, no elevation deserving the name of mountain, existing 
in the entire space between the Tennessee and Mississippi 
rivers. 

Rivers. — Mississippi, Obion, Forked-deer, Hatchy and 
Wolf, branches of the Mississippi. Tennessee, French 



TENNESSEE. — TRENTON. 119 

Broad, Holston, Clinch, Hiwassee, Elk, Duck, &c. branches 
of the Tennessee, Cumberland ; Clear fork. Obeys, Caney, 
and Stones, branches of the Cumberland. 

Productions. — Wheat, rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, 
corn, cotton, tobacco, hemp, garden vegetables, and fruits 
of many sorts. 

Towns. — Knoxville, Kingston, Washington, Clinton, 
Rutledge, Newport, Bluntsville, &c. in east Tennessee. 
Nashville, Franklin, Columbia, Murfreesboro, M'Minnville, 
Fayetteville, &c. in the centre ; and Memphis, Bolivar, 
Brownsville, Lexington, Jackson, Trenton, Dresden and 
ReynolHsburg in West Tennessee. 

Internal Improvements. — None yet completed. Naviga- 
ble communication between the waters of the Tennessee 
and those of the Coosa, are contemplated. A Rail Road 
from the town of Randolph, on the Mississippi, to Jackson 
in Madison county, 65 miles, and one from Nashville to 
New Orleans, are proposed, and measures for insuring their 
early completion, have been adopted.

court and two assistant judges, all elected annually by the 
general assembly. A council of censors, (13 persons,) is 
chosen every seven years, for the purpose of inquiring 
whether the laws have been faithfully executed, &c. 

Physical Structure. — Vermont, as its name implies, is a 
mountainous region. The great Allegheny mountains pass 
through the entire length of the state, separating the waters 
of the Connecticut, from those running into Lake Cham- 
plain. A few miles east from Middlebury, a spur leaves 
the main ridge, and passing in a north-eastern course, is 
successively broken by Onion, Lamoelle and Misisque 
rivers. Tiie space intervening between the primary and 
secondary ranges, forms a table-land having a mean alti- 
tude of not less than 800 feet above the surface of Lake 
Champlain. This plateau, in its turn, supports a multitude 
of hills and mountain peaks, in some places insulated, and 
in others forming continuous ranges of several miles in ex- 
tent. Besides the ridges just mentioned, other mountains 
of great elevation, occur in the south-western part of the 
state, altogether presenting a surface exceedingly rough 
and uneven.

mond. Lat. 37^ 32' N. Long. 0^ 26' W. Constitution 
amended and adopted in 1830. General Election, April. 
Legislature meet, first Monday in December.

— ^term t)f office three years, salary $3,333 1 -3. Lieutenant- 
governor, $1,000. Two counsellors, each $1000. Tiea- 
surer and auditor, each $2000. Legislature, styled the 
General Assembly of Virginia, consists of a senate and 
house of delegates. The senate consists of 32 members : 
and the house of delegates of 134, of whom 31 are elected 
by the counties in western Virginia. The legislature meets 
annually on the first Monday in December, at Richmond, 
the capital of the state. 

Judiciary. — The court of appeals consists of a president 
with a salary of $2,720, and four other judges, whose salary 



VIRGINIA. 127 

is $2,500 each. This court holds two sessions annually, 
one at Richmond for East Virginia ; the other at Lewisburg 
in Greenbier county, for West Virginia, including all the 
counties west of the blue ridge, con::mencing on the first 
Monday in July, and continuing ninety days, if business 
requires it. 

General Court. — The state is divided into ten districts 
and twenty circuits. There are twenty judges, — one for 
each circuit. A circuit superior court of law and chancery 
is held twice every year in each county and corporation. 

Physical Structure. — All that portion of the state which 
lies east of the road leading from Fredericksburg to Peters- 
burg, &,c. comprising about 8,000 square miles, is level 
and but little elevated above the ocean ; some parts of it are 
constantly, and others occasionally inundated. The coun- 
try which intervenes between that just mentioned and the 
Blue ridge, is much broken, its ascents abrupt and rock}^ 
^nd presents other characteristics of a mountainous region. 
West of the Blue ridge, the entire region consists of a suc- 
cession of elevated ridges, between which, valleys of great 
fertility occur, these, although greatly depressed below the 
summits of the adjacent mountains, are elevated several 
hundred feet above the ocean tides. 

After passing the Allegheny mountain, the surface is 
much broken by the action of the waters, as they passed 
over the surface of that immense inclined plane, and thus 
formed those deep chasms and ravines, through which the 
streams generally flow. To this abrasion may be ascribed 
the mountainous appearance which the western part of the 
state presents. What appears to be mountains, are how- 
ever nothing more than buttresses which support the table- 
land in the rear. The natural geography of the state may 
be thus briefly defined ; in the east, level ; in the centre, 
mountainous ; and in the west, hilly with extensive elevated 
plans. 

Bays and rivers. — Chesapeake Bay, and rivers Potomac, 
south branch of Potomac, Shenandoah, Rappahannoe, York, 
JaKies, Appomattox, Nottoway, Roanoke, Dan, &c. in the 
east ; Ohio, Monongahela, Cheat, Great and Little Kanawha

Internal Improvements. — James River Canal, is merely 
a series of 12 locks, which connects the river with a basin 
at Richmond 80 feet above tide waler. From this basin 
proceeds the Richmond Canal,25 feet wide, and 4 deep, for 
2^ miles, when it unites with the river, i'hree miles fur- 
ther is a short canal of three locks, around a fall of 34 feet. 
James and Jackson River Canal and Navigation, com- 
mences at the basin at Richmond, and extends to Maiden's 
Adventure Falls, 30^ miles. Balcony Falls Canal extends 
along the bank of James River, through a gap of the Blue 
ridge, length 6-8 1 miles. An extension of the James River 
Canal, is now in course of execution. The Roanoke im- 
provement consist of a slack water navigation, and extends 
from the Weldon Canal in N. Carolina to Salem in Vir- 
ginia, 244 miles. The Dan, Chowan, Slate, Rappahannoc, 
Shenandoah, Potomac, Monongahcla, and Kanawha rivers, 
have been similarly improved. Dismal Swamp Canal, ex- 
tends from Deep Creek, a tributary of Chesapeake B:iy, to 
Joyces Creek, a branch of Pasquotank river of Albemaile 
sound, length 23 miles. Two lateral Canals, one from Lake 
Drummond, 5 miles in length, whi::h in addition to its 
uses for the purposes of navigation, serves as a feeder to 
the main trunk; and the other 6 miles long, opens a com- 
munication between the principal canal, and the head 
waters of North West river. — Rail Roads. Manchester 
Rail Road, extends from Manchester to the coal mines, 
length 13 miles. Winchester Rail Road extends from 
Harper's Ferry to Winchester, length 30 miles. Peten-

leaves the main lines about 10 miles from Blakely, which 
extends to the head of the rapids of Roanoke, length about 
12 miles. Portsmouth and Roanoke Rail Road, commences 
at Portsmouth opposite Norfolk, passes in a direct course, 
intersects the Petersburg road 6 miles from Blakely, and 
terminates in the Roanoke, a short distance below the

WHEELING. 



133 



Wheeling, Va. (128.) This town is not only important 
as it regards population, but is also the leading point in one

Wisconsin, Territory of, is divided into counties. 

Population, (l837,) about 20,000. Area, 267,850 square 
miles. Capital, Burlington. Lat. 40° 62' N. Long. 14° 05' VV. 

Government. — Governor appointed by the President and 
Senate; and Secretary, v^^ho continue in office two years. 

The judicial, as well as the executive officers of the Ter- 
ritory are chosen by the president of the U. States, by and 
with the consent of the Senate. 

Physical Structure. — Extending from the Lat. of 40° 
25' to 49° North, with an area equal in extent to four or 
five of the bordering states, the Territory of Wisconsin 
possesses almost every variety of soil — nothing deserving 
the name of mountain is found within its limits, and, with 
the exception of the innumerable lakes and swamps which 
abound in the northern part of the Territory, every part of 
its surface is susceptible of cultivation. Even in the lead 
districts, where fertility is scarcely looked for, the agricul- 
tural products are in no wise inferior to those of other sec- 
tions of the country. 

Mines of lead have for many years been worked to great 
advantage. Copper ore has also been recently found in 
great abundance, and of superior quality.
